Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to further improve manufacturing efficiency and enhance competitiveness of manufacturing companies. The application of state-of-the-art computer science technologies always lead to productivity improvement for the operator, as well as enabling new and more productive workflows for planners, designers and managers. Appling new insights and concepts from computer science in the engineering domain was in the past decades dominated by central IT systems such as ERP, MES, PLM or CAD-CAM. Recently more cloud applications offered benefits such as high availability and low maintenance effort. Now a new wave of toolset is mature enough for widespread adoption. This paper gives a short overview over such applications and use cases of AI in manufacturing, groups the use cases into categories and presents some exemplary use cases in detail. The paper closes with recent trends and some potential new developments and future outlook on new methods and tools. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
